A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 373: I Want It to Be Yours Too

He insists. Seeing this, Lily can only nod, "Alright, then we'll split the burden."

Only then does John smile.

Lily is pregnant, and that can probably explain why she gets sleepy after spending only less than two

hours on the list.

By the time she wakes up again, it is already half past seven in the evening.

At this moment, John knocks on the door. He's here to give her some clothes.

"Thank you." Lily is surprised, because John is so careful to notice that she doesn't like it fancy when it

comes to clothes.

When she unfolds the clothes, she finds some miscarriage-preventing medicine inside. She looks at

John in astonishment and whispers, "This quick? Will Jonathan find out about it?"

John smiles slightly, "Victor's sister is pregnant, and she's also taking this medicine. He had asked his

sister to buy it. I was worried that yours wasn't enough."

"Victor has a sister?"

"Yeah, why?"

Lily scratches her hair and mutters, "I thought he was an orphan just like the bodyguards on TV—lonely

but brave, you know?"

John can't help but laugh, "Lily, you're so cute."

"Stop laughing. I'm just ignorant. I don't know him well." Lily glares at him and says unhappily, "I never

thought that I would come here one day!"

She pouts with her red lips, a little annoyed. She's languid, but somehow charming.

John finds her extremely attractive.

He unconsciously moves closer to her and puts his warm palm on her cheek. More and more restless,

he bends over to her and says, "Lily, marry me."

If Krislier Group is mine, I want it to be yours too.

Lily freezes for a moment and hurriedly pushes him away. She takes a few steps back as if frightened,

saying, "We should now think of how to contact the politicians on the list and get them to recognize

you."

Instead of answering him, she changes the topic.

John is slightly disappointed, but his eyes are still full of tenderness. He smiles and nods, "Right. I get

it."

The two of them go downstairs to eat together.

In a few hours' time, Burnell is not so angry with Jonathan and John. What's more, unlike yesterday, he

has stopped ignoring Lily. He calls them over for dinner.

Jonathan gives them a cold glance and continues to eat.

When Burnell is with John, he seems to flow with enthusiasm. As soon as John and Lily sit down, he

starts to talk to John—only about life and not business.

After chatting for a while, Burnell suddenly asks John, "Colbert, didn't you say that you like Meghan and

is engaged to her? Does she know about this?"

John lowers his head as he darkens his eyes. He says, "Only after we got engaged did we find that we

were not right for each other. Then, I dated Lily, so I broke up with her. She agreed."

Burnell props up his chin and says, "Meghan is quite smart. There was nothing you could do if it did not

work for you two."

"Dad, if you like her, you can always invite her back." John smiles and says, "She is working in a

company under Jonathan, and is quite familiar with him. If she can be with Jonathan, it won't be a bad

thing."

"Meghan is only my employee. She likes you, not me." Jonathan says with a cold expression, "I don't

want you to be criticized because I'm your brother."

John keeps pushing him by saying, "It doesn't matter. I don't mind. After all, we're brothers. Also, I

heard that Meghan liked you before, but you were too cold and had never given her an answer. I think

Meghan would get engaged to me only because she wanted to anger you. Otherwise, she wouldn't be

so indifferent to me."

"You forcibly broke up with Meghan after you saw Ms. Lily again. Don't do me dirty."

"If you don't believe me, just go to the company and find out yourself."

"..."

Jonathan, who is always proud and resourceful, darkens his face. Seeing this, Lily says to herself, 'I

always thought that Jonathan was better than John, but I have to give it to John today!'

Now, John is calm as usual while Jonathan is all gloomy and doomy.

"Are you done fighting? Do you want to eat or not?" Burnell frowns. He says unhappily, "You two have

been fighting nonstop about business. Now you have to fight about life, don't you?"

Lily is speechless.

'If you hadn't mentioned 'Meghan', would all this happen?' she thought.

"Mr.—Mr. Burnell!"

The tension is broken by the panicked voice of the servant.

The servant is coming down from upstairs. She is too nervous that she directly steps on the ground and

rolls down several steps. Burnell darkens his face.

He says angrily, "Damn it. Stand up! What happened?"

The servant hurriedly gets up and bows. She trembles as he says, "Mar—Martha died in Ms. Lily's

room..."

John immediately stands up from his chair, "What's going on?"

"I—I don't know, Mr. John." The servant is still trembling, "I asked Martha to put the new incense in Ms.

Lily's room, so that Ms. Lily could sleep better at night. However, Martha hadn't come down yet at

dinner. I wanted to call her, but the moment I entered the room, I found... I found her lying on the

carpet."

Burnell throws the napkin on the table and pushes his chair away.

"Let's go take a look."

Lily follows John and goes upstairs with the others. She walks towards her own bedroom.

At first, she didn't think much. She assumed the servant named Martha had bumped into somewhere

and died. When she enters the bedroom and comes in sight of the corpse, however, she is so scared

that she almost screams.

A woman is lying on the carpet in the royal gown Lily wore last night. Martha's dark green face turns

towards the door, her eyes wide open.

She looks dark all over. It is horrible.

"Don't look." John comforts Lily. He holds his arms around her and presses her head against his chest.

Suddenly, Lily can see nothing but black. After regaining her senses, she hears John's powerful

heartbeats. She knows that he is protecting her. Her feeling of vomiting is also suppressed.

Even Burnell is shocked, but he quickly calms down and asks the servant, "How did this happen? Is

she sick? Didn't you notice?"

The servant hurriedly replies, "We had a medical examination at the end of last year. We were all in

good health. I—I don't know how this happened."

"She died from poisoning." John glances at the servant's royal dress and says with a terrifying

expression, "This is the dress that Lily wore yesterday. She probably thought it beautiful and tried it."

"Are you saying that this dress is tainted with poison?" Burnell turns to look at John.

John nods.

Burnell's face darkens as he says angrily, "Damn it! She actually had the guts to wear her master's

clothes! Call the family doctor and tell him about the situation here!"

The servants get to work immediately.

Afterwards, Burnell and the others also go downstairs and sit down in the living room. It is terrifyingly

quiet.

Jonathan hasn't said a word from beginning to end. After sitting down, he sees that John is staring at Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

him gloomily. Jonathan's smile fades a little.

"Colbert, even if I don't like Ms. Lily, I won't attack her at home." Jonathan slowly says, "If I do so, I'll put

myself in danger."
